    SUGGESTED

    Hi  

    The rule is the first location available in the alphanumeric order; the first alphanumeric location type is suggested and the0 within this location type, the first alphanumeric location code. For me a irrelevant location suggestion is the worst thing as this only trigers errors, so better to have no suggestion at all.

    If you set the parameter value LOCSUG = Based on product setup this should disable the location suggestion when you have no location set on the product-site or product-warehouse.

    This parameter is used upon the stock receipt of a product at a site. It allows you to specify which location suggestion must be made.

    • All Locations – The location is initialized with the first free location.
    • Based on product setup - The location is initialized with the first location that respects the setup of the Default locations associated to the Product-Site. If no default location is associated to the Product-Site, you must to select the location.

    Hi  ,

    I test, and it works. The params is ok, the problem is that when i create a product-site, by default fill the default locations with an *, and sage x3 propose a location between all locations. Do you know a method not to fill with * by default?

    Our client needs to use a generic location when no specific location exist in product-site, and not choose always the same location. I understand that a workarount would be use an specific location type code and location code startinng with "AA.." or similar, but is it possible to specific these default location with setup?

    Thanks.

    You are correct  

    This is inconvenient, I would have expected to default the values from the product category (or product category site) but I have just tested (2023R1) and I always get a * upon product-site creation;

    I don't know any solution for this issue.

    I am not sure to quite understand the question here.

    So I'll try to put an example to check my understanding: you seek to get generic locations by default but no always the same generic location. So you can create a new location type let's say GEN, with multiple locations attached to it (GEN001 to GEN999) and upon first receipt the stock should go in GEN001, on the 2nd receipt the stock should go on GEN002, etc.
    => Am I correct?

    Hi again,

    Not, i only need one default location.

    Example: a type GEN with only one location "GENLOC".

    When not exist specific location in product-site (include * that is not a specific location), the system must propose as location "GENLOC".

    Hi  

    To get GENLOC by default, you simply need:

    1. Set LOCSUG = Location type and  AlternateLocation
    2. Create a new location type being sure this is the 1rst in the alphanumeric order:
    3. Create the related location GENLOC
    4. Be sure to have a * as default location type and location

    If this is working, please set your post as Answered.
